dc.description.abstract	The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and extended periods of lockdown worldwide have contributed to rising mental health issues, particularly among young adults. While there are many factors that contribute to one’s mental health, studies have also shown an ambivalent relationship between religiosity / spirituality and mental health, with religion often being used as a coping mechanism. Data is collected for this study with the aim to describe the relationship between religion and psychological wellbeing in the religiously diverse landscape of Malaysia by measuring the following elements: religiosity, religious emotions, interreligious perceptions of threats and discrimination, subjective wellbeing, and social-psychological wellbeing.	en_UK
